Abstract
We report a case with focal mass–like lesion of the spleen in polycythemia vera. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lesion showed homogeneous hyperintensity on T2-weighted images, with progressive enhancement on dynamic magnetic resonance images after bolus injection of gadolinium. The magnetic resonance features of focal splenic extramedullary hematopoiesis have not been previously reported.
